Are you "fortunate" if you work hard?
#9
Maybe I am not totally understanding the question here but is fortunate totally income based? My husband and I both work full time...we both work hard at our jobs. Our combined gross income is about $50,000 (majority is his). Are we fortunate? Our house is paid off, we have two new cars, we have food. We also have credit card debt. But I guess we are fortunate to have all we have, and that we both do work for our income, rather than having it handed to us.
3 years ago I collected disability checks for 3 months...felt I was being "dependant" even though I did earn the "right" to collect those benefits. It was nice being off work, but it felt great to be back to work.
